[1981flower]

Hi Guys me again , I need some advice if any out there, I am 1 year into my contract , my temp license is now expired as I'm waiting to take my exam for the second time (failed my first attempt) . Is my contract still valid if my training license is now expired ? how long can they hold me with no type of license or application for one with DOH. I cannot apply for one until I pass my board exam. I just want to be free I don't have a desire to drink I have no SAD I just cant afford this nor want to be apart of this mental BS and want my life back. any advice or if someone can point me in the direction of advice .

I suspect, if you hope to be licensed at some point, that you are going to have to continue the terms of your contract.  However, for a definitive answer you should direct this question to the agency that directed your participation.

Best wishes.

Your best bet is to ask a lawyer.

For the original poster, once you sign a contract/consent order, you are required to meet the conditions of the consent order and that includes keeping your license updated. Below are 2 famous tricks or attempts tried by 100s of nurses over the last 20 years.

1. Nurse signs consent order and nurse allows license yo expire or chooses not to renew while they are still under consent order. That results in a revoked license and then onto the OIG list and problems just got magnified 10 fold. Part of a consent order is keeping license renewed. I know, sounds crazy how the BON can actually force you to renew your license while under consent order. Technically you aren't forced but if you don't renew or let it expire, they revoked you and that's a disaster.

2. Nurse signs consent order and is in middle of consent order/contract and nurse tells BON she wants to retire and make her license in inactive or retired status. That doesn't work and isn't allowed and the nurse can not do that.
